    Why the hell are they covering Selena Gomez in concert? You never saw White Stripes covering Britney or GnR covering NKOTB. I hate to be that "get off my lawn" grouch at age 36 but fuck it. They're Radio Disney sellouts now and this makes Caleb a douchebag hypocrite for complaining about soccer mom crowds years ago.

    Kind of crazy to me that for the Philly show, the Chili Peppers sold out instantly, and yet 3+ hours after the KOL show went on sale you can still get great LOWER level seats. Weird.

    too bad we won't be seeing them in the smaller venues anymore. Their shows at the TLA were great.

    Electric Factory and The Tower were fun too.

    I like the new album. I do not care for the artwork, bleh.

    they electric factroy shows were pretty good except the one in '07 which i don't remember that well. the one in '05 was god and the one in '08 was really good i though. I almost forgot they headlined the tower also in '07 which was good except security was a pain in the ass. i won't count the first time they played the tower since that was in '03 and they were the opening band.

    I saw them in 08 at electric factory in Phily too. We're awesome. I originally saw them by accident in NYC when they were opening for Ben Kweller in 2003. They blew everyone away and could tell they were on their way. For people upset they covered Selena Gomez, did you listen to the cover? It's amazing. It's like a completely different song.

    Got this on high rotation the past 8 days. I think it might be my favorite release of 2016 so far along with Michael Kinowauka's Love & Hate.

    A lot of people on here digging the new album--I'll have to give it a chance. Last time I saw them live in 2014, I thought the show was very disappointing, so I didn't shell out for this upcoming tour. Maybe I'll change my mind closer to day of show though, especially with Deerhunter opening.

    it's a really good album. I wasn't a huge fan of their last couple of releases, but there isn't a dud track on Walls.
    I LOVE MUSIC.
